Geagea threatens Hezbollah and waves the support of the United States,...

According to the Lebanese newspaper, Al-Akhbar, in Jumblatt’s mind, words that shocked him a few days ago, when I gathered him with the head of the Lebanese Forces Party, Samir Geagea, at a banquet at the house of the deputy, Nehme Tohme. At Tohme’s table, Geagea offered Jumblatt the idea of ​​the deputies of their two parties resigning from parliament, which was rejected by the head of the “socialist”. After that, Geagea said that he will continue the confrontation against Hezbollah until the end, adding: “I have 15,000 fighters, and we are able to confront the party, which is suffering from great weakness due to the situation in Lebanon and the region,” according to his claim.

When Jumblatt warned his interviewer about the seriousness of what he was saying, Geagea responded by saying: We are stronger today than we were in the days of Bashir (Gemayel), and Hezbollah is weaker than Abu Ammar (Yasser Arafat) was. Geagea presented his political reading, in which he is supported by the United States of America, and by Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United Arab Emirates and other countries. As for Hezbollah, in the opinion of the head of the “forces”, it suffers and makes concessions because it is weaker than it was once, as he put it.

Jumblatt Geagea did not agree to his reading, and emerged from the meeting astonished at the estimates of “the leader who had never won a battle.” The head of the “socialist” told some of his friends about what he had heard, considering that it might be a dangerous indication of something being prepared for Lebanon, and that would worsen its situation.

Geagea’s new adventure seems to boast of the security-style deployment that the Lebanese forces have been carrying out in a number of regions, since Hakim announced his joining the October 17 uprising, on the second day of its outbreak. On October 18, 2019, he asked his party members, in a public position, to participate in popular movements, without party flags or slogans.

Later, this position was forgotten in the crowd of events, and many began to mock all those who refer to the presence of the main forces in some movements and in specific areas. This situation made Geagea benefit from hiding behind the uprising, to test his party’s readiness to “spread and control” over vast areas.

After that, the port explosion came, and the forces began to take out their “secret organization” into the open: from the paramilitary armada in Gemmayzeh, to the armed deployment under the pretext of firing in the air during the funeral of one of the victims of the port explosion in Ain al-Rummaneh.

In Ashrafieh, Ain Al-Rummaneh, and other areas, the forces maintain a quasi-security “spread,” Maarab refuses to describe this, stressing that it is a “natural presence for the region’s military people” (see “Al-Akhbar,” October 7, 2020).

Twelve years ago today, on May 9, 2008, Geagea told the US Ambassador, Michael Sison, “He wants to make sure that Washington knows about the existence of 7,000 to 10,000 fighters trained from the Lebanese Forces and are ready to move. “We can fight against Hezbollah,” Geagea declared, confidently adding, “But we need your support to obtain weapons for these fighters. If the airport remains closed, amphibious supply operations can be facilitated. ” Sison mentioned that conversation between her and the head of the “forces” in one of the US embassy cables that was revealed by the “WikiLeaks” position in 2011 (published by “Al-Akhbar” in its April 5, 2011 issue).

This time, Geagea did not tell Jumblatt that he needed a weapon. He suggested that he had finished arming

This time, Geagea did not tell Jumblatt that he needed a weapon. He implied that he had completed the arming, noting that the head of the Lebanese Forces party is still dependent, almost entirely, on the funds of the Lebanese state to protect his residence in Maarab, and costs the public treasury billions of pounds annually, as salaries for more than a hundred gendarmes and officers and officers of the Internal Security Forces placed in Act as a protection force, with their military vehicles.

The dangerous thing about Geagea’s words is not that it comes from “a leader who has never won a battle he fought, but nevertheless does not teach,” as it indicates the existence of intentions by regional or western countries to blow up the situation in Lebanon on the basis of Samir’s “spirit of adventure” Geagea, on the basis of “Either obtain Lebanon on our terms, or let it fall at the head of Hezbollah and its allies.” In addition to the political performance, these divisive intentions appeared in the bill that was submitted by Republican members of the US Congress two weeks ago, which requires the US administration to impose sanctions on banks operating in “Hezbollah areas” (“Al-Akhbar”, October 7, 2020. ).

Jumblatt attacks Hariri

On the other hand, Jumblatt launched a violent attack on the head of the Future Movement, Saad Hariri, considering that “today there is a self-assignment to head the government, and instead of the parliamentary blocs descending to the Council and requesting the program, Hariri sent a delegation to the blocs to present what he has, and this is a role reversal and another What is left of the Taif Agreement. ” Jumblatt announced his refusal to receive the delegation of the Future Bloc, which Hariri assigned to consult with the parliamentary blocs before consultations to appoint a new prime minister, saying: “This is not how Walid Jumblatt is treated.” He also criticized Hariri’s talk about a non-political technocratic government, asking: “Hey Sheikh Saad, you are a politician, do you want to answer the angels of ministers? And Amal, will they answer the astronauts and ministers? ” The leader of the mayor, Mustafa Adeeb, described him as “the robot they brought him and then they withdrew”, pointing out that during Adeeb’s formation of the government, former Prime Minister Najib Mikati called MP Wael Abu Faour and named him the only Druze candidate in the 14-minister government.
